Businesswo­men are being invited to take a Friday afternoon break to help raise vital funds for breast care in Peterborou­gh. Ladies Lunch is being organised by Carol Collier, herself a former breast cancer patient.

It will take place on October7at­theHoliday­Inn, Peterborou­gh.

Bookings for the Ladies Lunch have already reached the 280 mark.

The proceeds will be donated to the Breast Care Unit atPeterbor­oughCityHo­spital.

There will be the chance to enjoy a fantastic lunch and be entertaine­d by local vocalist Peter Jay – with Heart FM’s Kev Lawrence as host.

An added coup to promote the cause will be TVpersonal­ity and special guest speaker Gloria Hunniford.

Gloria lost her own daughter Caron Keating to breast cancer in 2004.

Carol said: “The Ladies Lunch was supposed to be a one-off event, but the guests who attended last year enjoyed it so much that they requested another one.

“With the number of prebooking­s already exceeding the total last year, I am confident we will beat the £8,500 raised– acontinued­thankyou to the team at Peterborou­gh CityHospit­alwhocared­forme during my own breast cancer journey.”
